Lemon Crunch Pound Cake

Hey there! I hope all of you are enjoying beautiful fall weather. A cold front is coming all the way down to Florida this evening and where I live is supposed to be in the 50's overnight. Maybe it'll stick around for a while. This is good porch sittin' weather around here. I think I'll see if that hard working hubby of mine will relax on the front porch tonight after supper with a glass of tea.As promised, I'm posting the recipe to the cake I baked last night for my mom's birthday. Can you believe that the above picture is the only one I took of the cake? This is little Sammy, and YES he's sitting in my mom's kitchen floor (yes, the cake is on the floor) spooning the iceing over it. Hey, this lit'l feller just had open heart surgery so we're pretty much letting him get away with anything. He's just so darn cute!I went to my mom's and cooked spaghetti, corn, rolls, and baked the cake. My sister and her family came over and we all had a real good time.It was a fun filled evening, my mom seemed to really enjoy her special supper. After the cake and coffee, we all pretty much headed to our homes to crawl in our beds. Happy with full tummies!

I sure hope you enjoy this wonderful pound cake! As always, thank you for taking time to read and hopefully enjoy Lillie Mae Acres. You never know what I'll come up with next for a new post. Since fall is finally in the Florida air, I'm getting in the mood for some chili. I just might have to cook some chili for my cowboys for supper real soon.
